One Way Street

Admin/ February 16, 2016/ Poems

 

 

Love is not a one way street.
It takes two or more to make it work.
 
The girl who wants to be treated like a princess ends up on a one way street
A street that sends her to be married for political advantage.
 
The boy who is told to gut his emotions and be a man ends up on a one way street.
A street that prevents him from knowing love at all.
 
The girl who claims that chivalry is dead ends up on a one way street.
A street that idolizes her as an object that must be saved.
 
The boy who is not allowed to love other boys ends up on a one way street.
A street where he is not allowed to love who he wants.
 
The girl who is not allowed to love other girls ends up on a one way street.
A street where she is bullied and teased for how she was born.
 
Love is not a one way street.
It takes two or more to make it work.
 
This one way love leads to few locations
Locations such as Nowheresville and Lonelytown.
 
You cannot backtrack on a one way street.
Only continue the same predetermined path.
 
Once you go down a one way street.
There is no returning the way you came.
 
A one way street does not have alternatives.
When selected, the destination is inevitable
 
Love is not a one way street.
It takes two or more to make it work.
